In ΔABC shown below, BD over BA equals BE over BC: Triangle ABC with segment DE intersecting sides AB and BC respectively.

The following flowchart proof with missing statements and reasons proves that if a line intersects two sides of a triangle and divides these sides proportionally, the line is parallel to the third side:

Top path, by Given the ratio of line segments BD to BA is equal to the ratio of line segments BE to BC. By Side Angle Side Similarity Postulate, triangle ABC is similar to triangle DBE. By Corresponding Parts of Similar Triangles, angle BDE is congruent to angle BAC. By Converse of the Corresponding Angles Postulate, line segment DE is parallel to line segment AC. Bottom path, by space labeled as 2, space labeled by 1 occurs. By Side Angle Side Similarity Postulate, triangle ABC is similar to triangle DBE. By Corresponding Parts of Similar Triangles, angle BDE is congruent to angle BAC. By Converse of the Corresponding Angles Postulate, line segment DE is parallel to line segment AC.

Group of answer choices

1. ∠A ≅ ∠A
2. Reflexive Property of Equality

1. ∠A ≅ ∠B
2. Corresponding Parts of Similar Triangles

1. ∠A ≅ ∠B
2. Corresponding Angles Postulate

1. ∠B ≅ ∠B
2. Reflexive Property of Equality

where are the options?

step-by-step explanation:

56.6

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of the perimeters is equal to the scale.

the ratio of the areas is equal to the square of the scale.

34 / 20 = k

a / 19.6 = k²

substituting:

a / 19.6 = (34 / 20)²

a = 19.6 (34 / 20)²

a ≈ 56.6

the most boring thing ever written

step-by-step explanation:

i am writing something. yes, i plan to make it the most boring thing ever written. i go to the store. a car is parked. many cars are parked or moving. some are blue. some are tan. they have windows. in the store, there are items for sale. these include such things as soap, detergent, magazines, and lettuce. you can enhance your life with these products. soap can be used for bathing, be it in a bathtub or in a shower. apply the soap to your body and rinse. detergent is used to wash clothes. place your dirty clothes into a washing machine and add some detergent as directed on the box. select the appropriate settings on your washing machine and you should be ready to begin. magazines are stapled reading material made with glossy paper, and they cover a wide variety of topics, ranging from news and politics to business and stock market information. some magazines are concerned with more recreational topics, like sports card collecting or different kinds of hairstyles. lettuce is a vegetable.
